Independent regiment headquarters.
At night, Kong Jie was eating. He had just served the bowl and had not taken a few bites.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the courtyard outside.
"Guild Leader! Guild Leader! Good news! Good news!"
Then, a signalman rushed into the entrance of the regiment headquarters.
Kong Jie frowned and continued to eat while muttering,
"What's the hurry? It's such a big matter. Why are you so anxious?”
The signalman handed a piece of paper to Kong Jie and said excitedly,"
"Guild Leader! I just received a plain code telegram saying that the 6th Company of the Independent Regiment has recovered Yangchuan County this afternoon.
Annihilate more than 600 people, including the Imperial Association Army, and kill a Japanese major!”
Hearing this, Kong Jie immediately stood up from his chair.
Her hands trembled and she almost dropped the bowl.
"What? What did you say? Sixth Company had conquered Yangchuan? And killed more than 600 enemies?"
Kong Jie widened his eyes and quickly put down the bowl.
When he took the copy from the signalman, the expression on his face changed.
"How…how is this possible? This bunch of brats didn't even greet him. When did they go to the county town? He actually managed to take it down?
Moreover, wasn't this battle record a little too exaggerated?!”
Kong Jie muttered to himself in disbelief.
He really couldn't imagine it.
With just the fifty to sixty people of the Sixth Company, they were still poor when they set off a few days ago. How could they destroy an enemy ten times their strength in just a few days and even take down a county?
Even if Geng Zhan was a sharpshooter, the Japanese were not wooden.
The point is, attacking the county town is such a big matter, you should at least inform us in advance!
Damn it, the matter was done and even the plain code telegram was sent out, but he, as the leader, actually didn't know at all?!
"When did you intercept this telegram? Has the authenticity been verified?"
Kong Jie was a little stunned, but his hands were trembling slightly.
Obviously, even though his rationality told him that the possibility of such a situation actually happening was not high, he still harbored a trace of fantasy and anticipation in the depths of his heart.
After all, who would send such a clear telegram to play a prank?!
The signalman continued,"
"The telegram was just received. As it was powered on in plain code, the authenticity has not been verified yet.
However, since our Independent Regiment only has one radio station, if the Sixth Company really captured the county, then the possibility of using the Japanese radio station in the county to send a clear telegram is still very high!”
Upon hearing this, Kong Jie immediately slammed the table and shouted excitedly,
"This Geng Zhan really f * cking poked a big hole in the sky! Haha!
However, it was a good stab! Good stab! Haha!"
After saying that, Kong Jie turned to the messenger and said,
"Don't just stand there! Hurry up! Quickly send someone to Lower Groove Village to verify!
If this telegram was true, it would be a joyous occasion that would inspire people!
Quickly, quickly investigate!"
"Yes, sir!"
The signalman left.
…………
At the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
"What is it? You said that Kong Jie's Independent Regiment took down Yangchuan County!？”
The CEO said in shock. His sharp eyes stared at the deputy chief of staff.
The deputy chief of staff nodded and said excitedly,"
"The comrades in the confidential room have just heard a clear telegram. It indeed says that the Sixth Company of the Independent Regiment has taken down Yangchuan County!”
Hearing this, the CEO keenly caught the key point in the deputy chief of staff's words.
He took two steps forward, grabbed the deputy chief of staff's arm, and asked,"
"Are you talking about the sixth combo? Not an independent regiment?"
The deputy chief of staff sighed.
"Yes, old chief. The telegram specifically stated that the 6th Company of the Independent Regiment captured Yangchuan County this afternoon. Not only did they kill a large number of enemy troops, but they also beheaded a Japanese army major.”
The CEO clicked his tongue and said in disbelief,
"A mere company actually produced such a dazzling battle record! Amazing, amazing!
By the way, who was the company commander of this company?!”
" I've already sent someone to investigate," the deputy chief of staff said." The company commander of the Sixth Company is called Geng Zhan. He made a name for himself during the battle at Yang Village a few days ago and was promoted from platoon leader to company commander.
According to the intelligence, if Geng Zhan had not disrupted the enemy's rhythm with his superb marksmanship and taken the opportunity to launch a counterattack, the casualties of the Independent Regiment would not have been as high as they were now.”
Hearing this, the boss was immediately interested and asked curiously,
"According to what you said, this Geng Zhan is really a talent?!
Not only was his marksmanship outstanding, but he also had great command skills. He led a company and took down the county town heavily guarded by the Japanese!
Why had he never heard of such a good general before?”
The deputy chief of staff said,
"This is also something that happened in the past few days. The comrades below haven't had time to sort out and report it.”
The boss nodded and returned to the table with the battle map. After finding the location of Yangchuan County on the map, he pondered and said,
"If the intelligence is true, the Japanese will definitely send a large number of troops to surround Yangchuan County in a short period of time, both from a strategic point of view and to save face.
With the few people in the Independent Regiment, even if they were all pulled over to defend the city, they might not be able to stop the Japanese's attack.”
The deputy chief of staff also came over. After staring at the map for a moment, he said,
"Old Chief, from the geographical location of Yangchuan County, this place doesn't have much strategic significance to us. There's no need for us to defend the city.
If the Japanese attacked, they could let the troops retreat first to preserve their strength and slowly develop.
With our current military strength, it's not a wise move to fight the Japanese head-on.”
The boss shook his head and said in a deep voice,"
"This telegram is clearly written!
Now, the entire North China knows that our Eighth Route Army, with just one company, not only defeated the enemy several times more than our own, but also recovered our lost territory in one go!
This action will definitely greatly boost the morale of our army!
If we retreat now, not only will we become a joke to the world, but it will also be a big blow to the morale of the army.
Therefore, he had to defend Yangchuan County no matter what!
Furthermore…"
At this point, the boss took a deep breath, and his eyes revealed a sharp look. He raised his hand and knocked heavily on the battle map a few times, saying,
"Recently, the Japanese have been carrying out more and more sweeping operations in the northwestern part of Shanxi. They have been conducting large-scale clean-ups and investigations in our base areas, constantly reducing our space of activity.
It was time to teach that arrogant Japanese a lesson!”
After saying that, the boss suddenly looked up and said to the deputy chief of staff,
"Immediately send someone to verify the authenticity of this telegram. At the same time, order the New Regiment to be ready at any time.
Once the information was confirmed, the new regiment would set off immediately and head to Yangchuan. They would work together with the independent regiment to resist the Japanese's counterattack!”
"Yes, sir!"
